What Type of ID Do I Need to Register?

Florida's voter registration form asks for your Florida driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security Number. Failure to provide this information could lead to you having to show additional identification when you vote that shows your picture or your name and address. Make sure to provide this information on the registration form so the state can verify your identity and you don't run into problems when you cast your ballot.

Register at School or Home?

Students have a choice about where to register to vote.

School address: Students attending college in Florida may register at their school address. You must plan to return after temporary absences, like summer break, but do not have to plan to reside at that address permanently.

Permanent address: Students may choose to register or remain registered at a permanent address in Florida or outside the state. In this case, students may need to vote by absentee ballot.

You may only be registered and vote in one location.

What Type of ID Do I Need to Vote?
